Oooh. I found yet another word that’s different in British English!
This says while running yet your not running lol still this vid helped tx
This worked so well! Thank you! It was getting really painful, and now it’s gone. Thanks again.
What did you think? Did you learn anything about these pesky pains? Did we miss any of the best ways to get rid of or prevent these awful aches? If you enjoyed this video, please give it a like and share it with your friends!
usually when i get a stitch, i just suck in my stomach and the pain goes away
Bah, there’s definitely magic involved here. Everything science can’t explain proves that magic is real. Suck on that, stupid scientists!
It’s a irritation of the membrane lining the abdominal cavity.
I found a solution please read it
I started running everyday 5 k after a 3 days I started getting side stich and on the 7 day it increases so much I can’t even finish my 5km. So I found out by my doctor that it can be loss of potassium and sodium through sweat which is causing cramp. I started eating a banana everyday in morning now after two days it goes awayv
I don’t eat or drink lots of water before running and I still get a side stitch
🙁 don’t know what to do
I’m sure I watched a David Attenborough about humans having evolved to run down prey over massive distances on the savanna. Attenborough’s word is gospel so I don’t know where you’re getting this sprinting thing from. Sauce please.
Lowering your water intake a few hours before going on a run and while you are running will considerably lower the chances of getting a stitch, at least this is what i can tell from experience, I used to run 12-20 km a day, and noticed that whenever I drink water before running I would get a stitch very fast, in about 5-10 mins of running, and drinking while exercising or running would cause a stitch almost instantly.On the other hand when I lowered my intake It hardly ever happened even after 1-2 hours of running, also humans are fit for long distance running, in fact we can outlast most other creatures in terms of endurance on this subject, however we cannot sprint for too long, but at lower speeds you can run immense distances, all you need is enough calories, and enough will.However running for too long will cause a lot of damage to your muscles and feet, so I suggest that before you decide to start running daily, you do a small research on the subject to see what distances you should run, and how to go about it, because running 20km on your first day is hardly a great idea.
Side stitches happen on the right side….This video is a fail.
Never had a stitch from running, fast paced walking yes. But never running.
“Humans evolved to sprint short distances”
That’s completely wrong though.
Humans are the fastest land animal over long distances. We hunted animals by running them down over extreme ranges it’s called persistence hunting.
This is one of the worst pains you can get while working out.
I have had a side stitch for over 3 days, and it hasn’t gone away. But it is also on my left side, not my right side. Does that mean anything?
My dad always told me to hold my arms above my head when stitches hit ya. It helps!
and the acid builds up in your muscle tissue because the respiritory system cant keep up with it. ^^’
i do mma and when kicking the bag i really cramp up and i cant get it to go away no matter what WTF
he’s doing the sit-ups wrong
You don’t go all the way down or all the way up when you reach the bottom for highest point you built up core releases it-self so stay in the middle
One easy way but youll need a shotgun and some shells and point it to where the side stitch is at XP
I get a pain often on my left or right side. Sometimes both at the same time. I’ve always called them side stitches but they seem to be higher than where a stitch would be so I’m not sure. They tend to be where my bra strap would be located. I get an intense, sharp pain that locks up my whole side but the pain is primarily in the region I spoke of. I get it even from doing simple things such as sneezing, coughing or laughing. If I stretch it also happens so I don’t stretch as often as I should, in fear of the pain. I try deep breathing, it makes it worse. So it being that high up, would it be considered a side stitch? I’ve literally dealt was these for many many years… any info, help would be amazing. Sidenote…. these are things I’ve tried…. creams, Gatorade, more water, bananas, deep breathing and self massage. Thanks. Much Love
Finally! I’ve always wondered what that side pain was called.
My body works really awkward. I have no stich at all when exhale is at the moment of left foot hitting the ground.
Well, that is weird. Is a stitch a term unique to the U.K? I’ve never heard of this and I don’t know I have ever felt these before. Perhaps a stitch is similar to a stomach ache, maybe they are the same? I play basketball a lot, which requires a lot of running and I can’t recall feeling the type of pain in the region mentioned in this video.
Some time ago when I was a kid, and would run around all the time, I used to get stitches a lot and always wondered why. A friend recommended a cure which I didn’t see mentioned in this video but amazingly worked great for me to avoid getting stitches. The trick he taught me was, when running, avoid breathing through your mouth at all, do all the breathing through your nose. I’m not sure why this works but it sure did the trick for me.
Is that a hand giving us the middle finger hidden in the diagram 2:53? Well hidden…
I’ve always found stitches to be very temporary, just push through it and it goes away within a minute.
When I run, I usually breathe in for two steps then out for another two. I will try breathing in across three steps and out for the following three steps next run. Thanks for the tip.
I always thought that a well trained and in shape body was good at long distance running. A wobbly ol’ flab biscuit like would have a hard time, but if I fixed that I wonder. Here’s a question, so professional athletes get a lot of stitches from all that running?
For me it was never drinking or eating anything for hours before I ran. If I drank anything before… I’d cramp up. If not… I didn’t. It was that simple for me. Goes to the “organs flopping around” theory I guess.
If you’re completing your run in a short while, a temporary solution is to suck in your stomach (like how it makes you look thinner/slimmer). The pain will subside or reduce temporarily. If you are able to fix your stitch through running slower, this would help too to reduce your pain while letting the stitch to be gone when you slow done. May not work for everyone, but do give it a try if you experience one =)
With the shoe in the thumbnail and stick in the title I thought it would be a “how to fix a shoe” video…
silly me:P
Its all about the breathing method.
I breath like this: nose in, nose in, mout out mouth out, short breaths with each step.
No need to prepare yourself in any way.
I always thought that stitches were the same kind of muscle pains you get post-workout. You can prevent them by breathing in a consistent pattern, or rather in long, drawn-out breathes consistently.
Weird! I was just thinking about how to get rid of them a few days ago, and then I saw this. I knew it was from eating though, I was running to work for no apparent reason and I got a bad stitch in my side.:/
How are we designed for short distance when our ancestors literally evolved for long distance running to exhaust prey?
I had tennis try outs today and we had to run 3 miles and I keep getting side stich and tomorrow why does this keep happening.
…this video is wrong. We were designed for hunting over long distances in packs and a stitch is a build up of lactic acid.
I did my science GCSE I know my shit
I hate gym too. Except I had it the first hour of the day.
Lucky me.:D
2 pro tips run for on the balls of your feet and run bare foot
Sounds like you are simple reciting a poorly researched and written wikipedia article lol.
I bend down and touch my toes without bending knees, usually works
This was great, thanks, I been tryin to find out about “exercise meniscus tear” for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about Zenevad Exercise Eaglestone (do a search on google )? Ive heard some super things about it and my partner got excellent success with it.
Wait, wait, waitaren’t we,, supposedly, best adapted to LONG distance running…?
I through it hurt because gas from the large intestine gets shaken loose and builds up in the left upper corner (which is in the same area as the spleen). It is also possible that is happens on the other side. It is however definitely not a spleen or liver problem, there is no acid build up that causes pain, that much has been established by scientist.
Hello! I’m Austin.I did -30 lbs past 30 days.Open hddiet.gs\#nkMt
I thought humans were in fact specially suited for long distance running? (cf. persistence hunting & endurance running)
I could be wrong but I’ve always understood the “Stitch” was a buildup of lactic acid in the liver/spleen. I used to swim a lot and would get a stitch cramp and that didn’t involve any stress on my internal organs.
Hey doctor first of all thank you so much for making the video. I really appreciate that.
Doctor my problem is that I am feeling a side snitch Evry quickly then before. It’s like as soon as I start running on treadmill I start feeling a snitch. This is happening from last few days. Before I have snitch later in my running.now I even sometimes feel it a little during my workout or playing basketball. I’m really worried about it. I’ve been working out for the last three months and I lose like 25 to 30 pounds. I’m working out pretty hard and getting into better shape. It’s also less painful now. Like before the snitch was a little more painful but now it’s not so painful but it comes faster. Is it because i’m overworking out or something. Idk. If you know anything about my problem please reply. Thanks
Hello Doctor
I had open median Arcuate Ligament release 7 months ago. I play full time soccer and now I am coming back into runs after spending time with physio working on scar tissue and building up my core again. I am going on runs and some days are successful and some not so much. Wondering if you have any advise or if you know something that could help
Thank you
i was confused by the title. i thought it meant like, how to avoid getting stiches like being sew up, on your side. haha. and then i saw it and though, why not say, how to get rid of a cramp. my gosh. haha. im stupid
I was running and felt a pain on my upper left abdomen I had to stop running. What could that be? Left side stitch?
I’m not a doctor and definitely can’t diagnose on the internet, but it certainly sounds like you overstressed one of the muscles of inspiration. Given the location it sounds like intercostals (the muscles between your ribs) or abs. If it’s warm to the touch I would avoid straining it further and you can try alternating ice and warm (not hot) showers (15 mins ice, 15 mins warm water, repeat a few times). If it’s not warm you can try some gentle torso stretches and a warming balm like arnica.
If it’s a side stitch it should calm down once your diaphragm relaxes. For some people they can continue to exercise and their breath will regulate in a few minutes. Others need to take a break. If you’re experiencing the pain more than a few minutes after stopping activity it wouldn’t be a side-stitch. That’s more likely to be a strained or sprained muscle or something along those lines.
